The following firearms were used in the film Assassins:
WARNING! Several images seen below give away spoilers for several major plot points in the film but are necessary to show the weapon used.
Robert Rath (Sylvester Stallone) and Miguel Bain (Antonio Banderas) both use integrally suppressed Ruger Mk II pistols. Bain comments to Rath that he began to carry the "Ruger .22" once he found out that it was the same weapon Rath used in his assassinations. Electra (Julianne Moore) also uses Rath's Ruger on several occasions. It is identified as a MK II since the receiver has beveled cuts and MK I's did not. Mark I's came with fixed & adjustable sights. Mk I's also all have a "european release" for the magazine also known as a "heel release"., The Rugers used in the film are clearly Mk II's as they have the beveled cut receivers (where you pull the "action" back to cock it.. -- The standard Ruger .22 has always been available with fixed (standard model)& adjustable sights (target model). It could be a MKI or MKII. -- All of the Ruger pistols are MK II if they have the slide release - and they are not integrally suppressed they have screw on cylinders. As with most movies there are many inconsistencies and both Mark I's & Mark II's were probably used throughout the whole movie.

Walther PP
When Robert Rath (Sylvester Stallone) is walking one of his marks, an ex-hitman named Ketcham (Muse Watson), through a forest. Later, Rath ejects the magazine out of the suppressed PP and hands it to Ketcham, stating "it's chambered". Ketcham then uses his own Walther PP to kill himself, saying "goodbye old friend" before shooting himself in the head.
Miguel Bain (Antonio Banderas) uses a suppressed Goncz GC carbine in the cemetery to kill Alan Branch (Steve Kahan) at the funeral. During his escape from police custody, he retrieves the weapon (which is oddly still loaded after his arrest) and uses it while in the taxi with Rath. (It may also be a Claridge LEC9).
Several of Alan Branch's bodyguards (David Dollase and Jim Graham) fire Beretta 92FS pistols at Bain after he takes out Alan Branch in the cemetery. A male Interpol agent in the hotel (Dave Young) that Bain assassinates in the hallway also has a Beretta, albeit suppressed.
Miguel Bain (Antonio Banderas) uses an integrally suppressed Remington Model 7 compact tactical rifle with a Leatherwood ART scope and thumb cut stock while waiting for Robert Rath in San Juan. Electra (Julianne Moore) eventually gets her hands on the rifle and fumbles to use it, but manages to take a few shots at Bain. She later gives it to Robert Rath (Sylvester Stallone) who disables it by removing the bolt. This rifle differs from the classic Remington 700 action in that the receiver is shorter than a standard length and takes shorter but still powerful cartridges. It is designed to be a tactical bolt action rifle that is compact and can be easily fired from minimal cover. The 'sportsman' version is the Predator and CDL and is promoted as a rifle for "thick cover hunting."

Photographed for IMFDB by MPM2008 from his own Movie Gun Collection. These rifles come in 17 Rem Fireball, .204 Ruger (which the two previous calibers were not availible when this movie was made), .223 Remington, .22-250 Remington, .243 Win.)Error creating thumbnail: File missingBain stands at the window with his Remington Model Seven.Error creating thumbnail: File missingBain aims at the bank in San Juan. Topped with a Hi-Lux "Camputer" ART 2.4-10x44 scope (with automatic range find), which is the same that Stallone used when he "took" his Russian friend. It is mounted to the rifle with a "quick-release" mount where it can be removed from the rifle and replaced with the scope still being accurate or returning to "zero".Error creating thumbnail: File missingBain practices aiming at the bank.

Note the bolt knob looks very similar to that of the Winchester Model 70. This rifle may not be a Model Seven. There are several "bolt knobs" styles one can purchase and replace the factory one. So one cannot determine what brand of rifle it is based upon the bolt handle.Error creating thumbnail: File missingElectra finds Bain's rifle laying by the window.
MAC-10
The guard at the San Juan bank carries a suppressed MAC-10. Why a bank guard needs a suppressed submachine gun is never explained.
